Pure poetry in your words. Pure love. Pure presence. And boundless generosity.

So enchanting! To be nothing and everything all at once. Thank you for this precious reminder of the simple beauty all around. It exists even in the struggle to survive.

Not incredible but very beautifully credible.

Thank you.

I have wanted to send you this for days:

A Reflection on Kimbra's Substack

When a Star Dies

It's hard

On us

When a young star

Supernovas

We maybe missed the signs

Or couldn't see

The flash blasts us

with thousands of bits

Of the relationshps we had built

With them

Whether acknowledged or not

The life rays we received from them

Resonated in our souls

Only because our souls

Resonated at the same frequencies

So we all

Have the innate power

To self resonate.

Incredible writing! Your words flow so freely and engage all five senses (visual, auditory, smell, etc.). A very pleasant read. God bless!

So lush, dripping imagery. Golden prose. This is why I subscribed. You are a writer whose words teach being.

I am awoken by the smell of life around me.

I have nowhere to be. It is an insight I arrive at with my senses and with my skin.

I am touched by the lack of urgency.

Devoted to the patience of slow time.

The rest of when a Star Dies

Birds sing to one another

Because they already knew

Some of the melodies

And were able to return the songs,

Or new interpretations,

Breathing them back

Into the air

So become a bird

And sing your notes.

Love this. In addition to music suggested here, may I suggest Tijuana Moods by Charles Mingus.
